- Coal-resource Contracting Terms for Productive Postmining ForestsBratsch, Tony (Virginia Cooperative Extension, 2010-02-26)Many coal resource owners also own the overlying land surface; such owners negotiate contracts with mining firms as a way to generate revenue. Here, we suggest contracting terms that can be offered when the resource owner desires a productive forest on the land surface that can serve as an economic asset after mining.

(Virginia Cooperative Extension, 2018-03-15)Discusses sericea lespedeza as a reclamation species for strip mines. Also discusses a two-year program for suppression of this species and the introduction of an improved pasture species mix.
- Creation and Management of Productive MinesoilsDaniels, W. Lee; Zipper, Carl E. (Virginia Cooperative Extension, 2018-03-15)Discusses the creation and improvement of soils on coal mined lands in southwestern Virginia.
- Enhancing Wildlife Habitat on Reclaimed Mine LandsCarrozzino, Amy L.; Haas, Carola A.; Stauffer, Dean F.; Zipper, Carl E. (Virginia Cooperative Extension, 2018-03-15)Discusses ways to improve wildlife habitat on reclaimed mine lands as well as methods used for monitoring wildlife.
